The Wireless Research Center
Vision
• Establishing a world‐class cross‐disciplinary research center– With close‐ties to the industry– Both at the national and international levels
• Provides both basic and applied research in wireless networking and communications– Their applications and hardware implementations
4
Groups
• Three inter‐related core groups covering different stages of wireless system development
– Wireless Networking Group
– Wireless Communications Group
– Radio Frequency Design Group
5
Team
• Three faculty• 15 students
– 3 Ph.D.– 12 M.Sc.
• Alumni and collaborators
6
I. Wireless Networking GroupDirected by: Moustafa Youssef
• Provides both basic and applied research in wireless networking and its applications – From the Medium Access Control (MAC) to the application
layers of the protocol stack
• Areas of interest– Mobile computing– Wireless networking
• Sensor, RFID, vehicular, etc– Location determination technologies– Wireless networking security

II. Wireless Communications GroupDirected by: Maha Elsabrouty
• Provide theory, algorithms, protocols, designs and implementations for next‐generation wireless communication systems– At the physical and MAC layers
• Main research themes– Energy‐efficient mobile broadband wireless communications– Intelligent vehicular networks and self‐organizing networks– Adaptive cooperative wireless communication networks for both high
throughput and delay sensitive applications
8
III. Radio Frequency Design GroupDirected by: Ahmed Allam
• Aims at the transformation of wireless ideas into reality products
• Addresses the design, implementation and testing of innovative radio frequency solutions in CMOS and related technologies
• Technologies covered– Broadband, cellular and telemetry applications
9
Research Projects• Ubiquitous Indoor
Localization– Provide a system like GPS
that works in indoor environments throughout the world
– Challenges• Automatic construction of indoor floorplans
• Automatic construction of location information database
– Use a crowd sourcing approach
– Based on cell phones as ubiquitous sensing devices
10
Research Projects• Device‐free Passive Localization for Wireless Environments– Track a person who is not carrying any devices
• Based on her effect on the signal strength• Applications: intrusion detection, border protection, smart homes, traffic estimation
• Detection, tracking, identification
11
Research Projects• DNIS : Dynamic Network
Interface Scheduling– Although more than one
interface may be connected on today’s mobile devices
• Only one of them is enabled• Restriction of current OSs (Window, Linux, IOS)
– Deployable system (no changes to legacy systems)
• Interface and applications characteristics estimation
• Scheduler• Multi‐objective• Distributed
12
Research Projects• Location‐aided Cognitive Networks
– Leverage location information for better performance– New metrics– Routing protocols
